When I look at the quality of prominent Americans who went to ivy league schools, I don’t think cheating your way through college will make much difference.

Pete hegseth graduated from princeton without the use of AI and he is one dumb fucking cunt, for example

had 32 people on board … featuring a seating capacity of 12 … the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the cause of the incident

🤔

With this picture, does that make you Cyrano de Purrgerac?

Yes, pretending you have questions when you just have insults is a great example of trolling.

“FreedomAdvocate” just immediately sounds like a troll account. Aaaannnnd the comment history is almost nothing but trolling. Surprise surprise.

Yep! Always has been.

Ashoka the great who’s credited with doing a lot to spread buddhism globally was a murderous warlord known for his personal torture prison called “Ashoka’s hell”. After he brutally killed uprisings against his rule he plowed state funds into a PR campaign to change his name from ashoka the cruel to ashoka of the dharma.

Bill gates is another good example, he’s a pedophile known for running one of the most toxic work cultures, but he can use some of the money he made illegally stifling competition to rehab his image.

I must say 4 incorrectly

I move my lips the same way you do. Another poster mentioned four, five as well.

It’s not incorrect though - there’s not really such a thing as pronouncing incorrectly. People just speak how they speak and it’s always changing.

over 30% of people somehow still voted conservative.

It’s similar numbers for determined trump supporters. 30-40% of people just seem to enjoy the idea of living under a punishing overload. Maybe it makes them feel safe, or they think of themselves as superior so presume they’ll end up on top. Probably a lot of other drivers as well - poverty and uncertainty seem to play a role.

I tend to think of this more as a flaw we possess as an organism, something we need social institutions to counteract, rather than as the personal failing of one in every two or three people.

People always think that the spark of invention is all that’s required, ignoring the social and material tinder and kindling that’s required for something to be useful and take off.

That’s the largest tardigrade I’ve ever seen.

Nope, the latter was correct.

I feel that spreading lies, even to make fun of them, is ultimately counter-productive. I know others disagree though.

Where I grew up it was between 20 and 30 much of the year. Honestly a 10 point warmness scale is quite easy to adjust to.

I have heard farenheit defenders point out that we’re not water - that farenheit cares about the temperatures that humans care about

A global government would prevent this from ever happening.

A few elites have the power to inflict violence on everyone else and get away with it - aka the state’s monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. This allows them to enforce injustice like unlivable wages but also to starve, jail and kill anyone who is serious about taking aware their power.

Setting up a global union would drastically curtail the power of elites, and they would prevent it. You would have to defeat the world’s elite, and in that case a universal wage is small potatoes.

The easiest way I find is to memorize the 0/10/20/30C to F conversions, then plus/minus at 2 to 1 from there.

32 = 0 50 = 10 68 = 20 86 = 30

70F is ~21C, 54F is ~12C, 81F is ~27.5C.

This account is a violent transphobic troll.

They post transphobic comments and calls for violence then whine about being banned from trans-friendly communities because they “just want some reasonable freedom to say what I want”

I think you underestimate how pessimistic many of us are. People I talk to in stores or at work are grim.

Most humans don’t take drastic action until they or someone sufficiently close to them is directly hurt. We can think of this as a moral failing or we can acknowledge that it’s a witnessable fact about our species and do our best to plan around it.

The political system laid out by the constitution was supposed to prevent us getting here. But it’s always been pretty shit, so no surprises that it failed to prevent this and is failing to stop it.

This would be a large and obvious escalation of meta’s support for fascism if true and it’s also very fakeable. I could believe it, but I’d need to see some people to verify.

I searched DDG for “el Salvador news censored by meta” and again but “by meta on Facebook” and got nothing, but that’s not so unexpected. Where were these people who claimed to verify it?

I don’t have FB or I’d check myself.

My parents do say kleenices, but they’re massive nerds. And linguists. Dad has bad allergies so “Did you take the kleenices out of your pockets?” was a common laundry time question. They also pluralized pizza as “pizzot”.

Tesla is claiming they filed previously unfiled sales once the announcement was made that the program was close to running out of money. However:

One Tesla locations in particular, Quebec City, claimed 4,000 rebates over the course of a weekend, which is physically impossible for a location of that size, and represents about a ~20x spike in daily deliveries for the location. Another location in Etobicoke reportedly claimed 2,528 rebates over the weekend, which is more than all the rebates that location had previously claimed combined.

It’s obviously just a lie to suggest these staggering numbers were past sales unfiled. Especially since tesla gives no details, and proceeds to threaten the government with legal action. This also fails to explain how their sales were so close to the amount left in the fund - mentioned in initial reporting but not here.

Tesla stole $43M from a government subsidy fund by faking thousands of sales.
